Space Battle
SimulationStar Fleet 1: The War Begins
is a strategy space-battle game distributed by Electronic Arts for a
variety of computer systems. As members of the Alliance, players must
protect its outer regions against invading fleets of hostile aliens
from the Krellan and Zaldron empires. Each player starts as a rookie
cadet, with opportunities to role-play specific characters and
experience both training and combat situations.
While competing with others, players can work their
way through the ranks to the ultimate honorary rank of Admiral
Emeritus. Players command one of 36 galactic heavy cruisers to defend
the Alliance. Part of the challenge is to rescue starbases from enemy
hands, capture and tow enemy vessels, lay mine fields, search for
intruders, and repair damaged systems.Star Fleet 1
was created by Interstel and is the first in a series of advanced
space-battle simulations.
